Are people legally allowed to not update their TeX distribution (or say store that package on their computer) on purpose to use that package?

People bought TeX Live on a DVD from DANTE and maybe some of them
never updated it.

I know from previous experience that some updates may break my
documents. Thus I never update in a middle of an important job
